Christ in Christmas

This event usually takes place on the first Saturday of December, from 2-3:30 PM in McKenna Hall to begin the Advent season. Children will be guided into “building a 15 inch bear” by high school students in Sussex and Morris Counties such as Pope John High School, Newton High School,, Sparta High School, Morris Catholic High School and Our Lady of the Lake Confirmation candidates. The finished stuffed bear and accompanying letter will be blessed and donated to multiple shelters in both Sussex and Morris counties.. The children will be thanked by a short musical event of Christmas Carols given by our high school students. Music for this event will be provided by the piano and the guitar. The children will be treated to desserts and hot chocolate. The afternoon will close with all the children singing "Joy to the World" as Santa enters the room. The children will help Santa pack the bears and letters into his sack to be delivered to the children in the shelters. Contact: Katherine Korkidis 9973) 729-6107.
